Jakarta (ANTARA) - Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Sakti Wahyu Trenggono is optimistic that four domestic marine commodities -- shrimp, lobster, crab, and seaweed -- will become Indonesia's superior commodities. "We want the four commodities to be able to become champions in the future," he stated at a maritime discussion in Jakarta, Monday. Trenggono noted that the four superior commodities have great value and can be cultivated well in Indonesian waters. If the domestic aquaculture sector can become a winner, then the blue economy run by the government can bring prosperity to the people. According to the minister, the government is currently endeavoring to overcome obstacles in sustainable fisheries cultivation related to feeds that are still fully imported. "This is what we have to change. We cannot have imported feed forever. Hence, it must be produced domestically," the minister emphasized.
